SUMMARY:Components of Living Intentionally After Profound Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Compassionate Friends is hosting a webinar titled: Components of Living Intentionally After Profound Loss on Tuesday June 9th at 12pm eastern time. From the TCF description: \nProfound loss changes us. Priorities shift\, relationships adapt\, perspectives adjust\, and our focus realigns in the wake of the painful\, life-altering experience of grief. Because of this\, living with grief often requires us to rebuild our lives\, set new priorities\, and to discover new ways to carry our grief and live life at the same time. This webinar will explore how grief challenges our personal agency and strategies for finding ways to be intentional about rebuilding key aspects of our lives after profound loss. \nPresented by: Andy McNiel \nPlease register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tIifzK1mQk21nIam1ya_HQ#/registration \nAlive Alone is making this information available to support our members in their grief journey.
